Good Evening,
    This is my first post.   I played around with Masm 10 or 12 years ago.  Thought I'd play some more.  Seems like I"m gonna have to start over.  :(.   But it will be fun.

Hi Ron,

Welcome to the Masm Forum.

Ron,

You will like the newer stuff, its smarter, faster and much cleaner than the old DOS based interrupts, DOS and BIOS functions. Something like getting out of a T model Ford into a formula one.

Not sure my psyche can handle that big of a change.   :shock:

I still have a Windows 2000 Programming from the Ground Up by Herbert Schildt  book.  It is C/C++ but the win32 calls should still work, won't they?

[dedndave]

of course
you will just have to "translate" the calls to ASM syntax
i believe all win 2000 functions are still in use   :P
the book should be quite helpful

... but the win32 calls should still work, won't they?

Nothing has changed since. No, that's not correct: Thousands of entirely useless functions have been added with every "new" version of Windoze, but the good ol' Win32.hlp is still your best friend (check my signature for a download link).

Note the jump in MHz for ME, and within my experience it was enforced.
